The spacecraft and systems that we design, build and operate have been a part of exploring every planet in our solar system. They have landed on Mars, executed tiny orbits around asteroids, flown past Pluto and explored the Kuiper Belt—the farthest distance any space vehicle has ever gone.

Our integrated systems provide the power and protection needed to safely navigate through the cruise stage, keep even the smallest, most precise orbits on course, and withstand the challenges of entry, descent and landing (EDL). The instruments we developed for these missions collect vital scientific samples and data and send them back to Earth. And on the ground, our mission support teams keep spacecraft flying and information flowing to scientists and engineers for analysis.

The experience and knowledge gathered from these robotic missions not only provides us with valuable data about our solar system, but it also informs a key goal of deep space exploration: sending humans to the Moon and Mars in the not-so-distant future and providing the infrastructure for a new space economy.
